The vehicle is widely known as a "Bren Gun Carrier". The Universal Carrier (of which there were several types) was lightly armoured, which made it proof against small arms fire, though the armour was not proof against close-range MG fire. The open roof was also not proof against mortar or shellfire. 
The carrier had an 85 horsepower engine that could drive the vehicle 30 miles per hour. The carrier was small, being just over 5 feet tall, almost 7 feet wide, and between 12 and 13 feet long. The Carrier was very maneuverable.
